General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Unfortunately dementia problems are often hard to face especially for the family members. You need to be psychologically strong. Don't take it as personal as it is not. We do not know what's happening to her mind, she doesn't know either. That's why should not take it personal, and keep consulting with her psychiatrist in order to evaluate her everyday changes.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Albana Sejdini, General & Family Physician
